Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This may well be one of the finest perennials we've seen! Gorgeous and adaptable; dark, deep, royal-purple-blue flower spikes rise up on 2'spikes over 12" clumps of deep-green crinkly foliage. This pretty picture is deer and rabbit resistant, tolerates high heat and coastal conditions and is a good cut flower. All that and it attracts butterflies and flowers all summer long! Cut back spent blooms for best performance. S/M-D
